I heard good things about using the move controller to aim in FPS type games. Also, I already have a PS3 as I wouldn't own an X-Box even if Bill Gates delivered a free one himself.

No PC release is a big kick in the balls.

Yea no PC release has been whined and cried about since the day they announced the project... I really just don't get why they wouldn't put it on PC... it's the best platform for FPS and you can guarantee you'll increase player retention in the universe since they'll get tired of eve and go to 514 then back again after a few months.

Exactly. The only thing I can think of is they didn't want to pull players away from EVE. So, since EVE is PC exclusive, and now Dust is PS3 exclusive, there is less player overlap.

I know there are ways to use a keyboard/mouse with the PS3 (or Xbox for that matter) but it's a huge pain in the ass.:shout:

That really didn't explain anything other than that Sony is a big crap pile of PC gaming.. with of course some exceptions till they keep tweaking it and making the game retarded.

Ultimately, it's PS3 exclusive because they want additional market share (not PC gamers), and they want to use a microtransaction business model while providing free content updates. Microsoft has a very heavy hand in what gets distributed on XBL and for how much. There's no way they'd let them continue their free expansion model or provide things like maps at no charge. Plus, none of the games on XBL utilize dedicated hosting which is what Dust514 will require. I don't know if that's a technical or political decision on Microsoft's part, but I'd say that's a pretty big brick wall when they intend to integrate not just the economies, but also things like voice chat between EVE and Dust.

I'm optimistic about it. Sony might be looking to ride this as their counter to Halo. If it's done right, it very well could be. Like they've said, you're no longer fighting for a spot on a leaderboard. You're fighting for sovereignty in a persistent universe with hundreds of thousands of people. Even if the actual gameplay is on par with established FPS games, the "meta game" and tie-in with EVE will make it a winner.
